After Shen Qianxue left, Su Jin stood at the mountain gate. The mountain wind grew increasingly fierce, and her eyes gradually turned cold.
Shen Yun urged her to go back quickly so she wouldn't catch a cold.
Su Jin said softly, "I'm going to take a walk around Lu Ming's medicine shop. You guys go back."
Shen Yun knew that Su Jinxia disliked being followed, so he had no choice but to leave first.
Su Jin walked slowly toward the medicine shop.
She hadn't been to the medicine shop for a while because Lu Ming would go to Tingyu Tower.
The medicine shop remains the same as always.
The servant greeted Su Jin with curiosity and inquired about her injuries.
Su Jin smiled and replied, "She's fine now."
She entered the room, where Lu Ming was engrossed in reading a book at his desk and didn't even notice Su Jin coming in.
Su Jin glanced at it and said indifferently, "When did you become interested in Gu techniques?"
Lu Ming was startled and quickly put the book away. "Why are you here? It's freezing cold, be careful not to catch a cold."
Su Jin pouted helplessly, "I'm not that weak! It's because of you that everyone treats me like a porcelain doll."
Lu Ming smiled and chatted casually with Su Jin.
A short while later, people came to see the doctor.
Many people catch a cold in winter, and colds are contagious. Su Jin stayed for a while before being chased away.
Afterwards, Su Jin went to the first team to visit the older members of that team.
After the injury, everyone came to visit Su Jin again, but they only exchanged a few words and never saw each other again.
Now, with their different statuses, everyone is a bit more reserved and doesn't dare to joke around as freely as before.
Su Jinxia was relieved to see that they were all alright.
After that, there seemed to be nowhere else to go.
The vast Phoenix Pavilion felt empty because Shen Qianxue was not there.
Su Jin sighed and returned to Tingyu Tower, where she ate roast duck.
After that, she stayed in Tingyu Tower for the entire noon.
Team Four, Yang Jiaoruo received a message from Su Jin: there was nothing unusual, it was all routine behavior.
Yang Jiaoruo waved her hand dismissively, seemingly unconcerned, and dismissed the person.
With the wedding imminent, Su Jin naturally wouldn't make a move. She would wait until after the wedding, when she had security, before going to the treasure vault.
Therefore, Yang Jiaoruo didn't pay much attention; with the war approaching, she had countless other things to do.
In the afternoon, Su Jin left Tingyu Tower to find Mai Zizi.
Mai Zizi greeted her in surprise, "What brings you here?"
Su Jin didn't come to see Mai Zizi very often.
Su Jinxia smiled and said, "I came out to get some exercise and also to see you. It would be even better if I could mooch a meal from you."
Mai Zizi clapped her hands happily, "That's great, eating alone is so boring."
During the meal, Su Jin said, "The manager has moved a lot of wine to the wine room and is letting me choose. Come with me to taste them."
“Okay,” Mai Zizi replied with a smile.
Su Jin looked at Mai Zizi's carefree attitude, her eyes deep and she sighed inwardly.
After the meal, the two went hand in hand to the courtyard behind Tingyu Tower, where many of the things needed for the wedding were stored.
It was already dark by then, and only two old women were guarding the courtyard.
Su Jin told them to go about their business and not to follow her, then took Mai Zizi to the most secluded room.
Su Jin opened the door, and Mai Zizi stepped into the room, lifting her skirt. The aroma of wine wafted through the air, and she couldn't help but exclaim, "It must be the best for your wedding."
Su Jin stood at the door without going in, her eyes fixed on Mai Zizi with a deep gaze.
She suddenly said, "I forgot to ask the old woman for the drinking utensils. Wait for me, I'll be back in a bit."
Ignoring him, Mai Zizi excitedly ran to the wine jar and sniffed it hard.
However, you can't smell any difference.
Suddenly, she noticed a complete set of wine tasting equipment set up in the corner.
"It's here!"
Mai Zizi got up, only to find that Su Jinxia was no longer there.
"This person!"
With a look of disgust on her face, Mai Zizi walked to the door to find Su Jinxia.
However, she pushed the door, but it wouldn't open.
I pushed it harder, but it still wouldn't open; I could even hear the lock rattling.
She realized: the door was locked.
"Su Jin, get out! Su Jin, get out!" Mai Zizi shouted outside.
In the empty night, only the whistling wind could be heard.
Mai Zizi felt strange, but she didn't realize the danger. She muttered to herself as she walked into the room and sat down.
A moment later, she heard a "popping" sound, somewhat like flames leaping upwards.
However, this room was specifically for storing alcohol and had no windows, so Mai Zizi couldn't be sure for the time being.
Soon, the two old women noticed the commotion; it seemed that smoke was rising.
The weather was dry and the items were valuable, so they were very concerned about the open flame and quickly ran over to check.
You won't believe it until you see it, and what you find will shock you.
The bar was surrounded by dry grass, which was burning fiercely.
"Oh dear, which heartless bastard did this!" An old woman slapped her thigh, trembling with fear.
Another old woman realized the seriousness of the situation and hurriedly said, "This is murder! Quickly, open the door!"
"The key is with Miss Su!"
"Miss Su, Miss Su, are you still inside?"
The old woman shouted.
"Help! Help!" Mai Zizi's cries for help came from inside the room.
The old woman was shocked; the person was still inside, so how could the door be locked?
"Go find someone quickly!" the old woman shouted, grabbed a wooden stick, and rushed over to rake through the dry grass.
The other old woman went out to seek help.
"Fire! Fire!"
